A sensation has been caused by the pub
lication OF Gen. Redvers Buffers evidence
before the land commission. Gen. Butler
testified: What law there was in counties
Kerry, Clare and Cork was on tho side OF
the rich. It would be serious matter,
With their grievances unredressed, to at.
tempt to suppress by force the tenants
right to openly associate Tor the protection
Of their interests. A majority of the ten.
ants struggled to pay their rents. and where
they could. did pay; but In great many
cases the rents were too high. and such - the
tenants could not pay. There would nev-
er be peace in Ireland until there had been
established q court having strong coercive
powers over bad landlords and protective
powers over poor tenants. The Pail Mall
Gazette declares the facts attested by
Gen. Butler come like 8 flash Of vivid light
ming, revealing the naked horrors OF or.
ganized injustice in Ireland: No crime
which the moonlighters or dynamiters can
commit will be comparable to the crimi-
nality OF giving another days grace to the
foul fabric OF legalixed wrong erected on
Irish sofia fabric which tho Tories now
seek to buttress by further misdeeds.

She!ba reef has been eclipsed by another
reef discovered last summer, known az the
Thomas rect from which samples ofguartz
weighing 5000 pounds, it is claimed,
yielded 148 ounces of gold. These discov-
sries naturally give an impetus to pros
pecting on q large scale, resulting in the
rich gold quartz veins. The vice consul
believes that the Transvaal fields, when
Iully developed will prove among the rich
est in the world. ,.-u ,-.|. $
